SAGAING DIVISION – Local residents said that when the elementary school students’ plenary festival was being held in Kontha village in Kani township, the terrorist army fired with helicopters. No one was hurt, but homes and the school hall were destroyed.
It was reported that the military council’s helicopters came and fired at the elementary school education plenary festival in Kontha village, Kani Township, on the morning of December 14th. The local people said that there was no fighting near the village and they came and fired for no reason.
“There was no fighting on the ground. I don’t know if their informants gave wrong information or if they were deliberately attacked. It was peaceful in the village. The children were having a plenary session. That event had nothing to do with war or fighting. If educated children were shooting at a plenary session, these guys’ actions were disgusting. Now, the village was shot four or five times by helicopter. And also went and attacked to Minkin township. There is no news on our side yet. After firing towards Minkin township, they fired at our village a second time on the way back. There were damage to the roof of some houses in the south of the village. The roof of the school hall was damaged. A cow died. Another cow was injured. The people were not harmed,” said a villager in Kontha.
“Kontha village, which was shot by the terrorist army helicopter, is a village located in the border of Minkin township, north of Kani town. It is understood that the helicopter that came and shot was from the North Western Command. Initially, we thought the helicopter was just passing by. Later, they started shooting and dropping bombs. I can’t count the number of times they fired around the village. The roofs of many houses in the south of the village exploded due to the attack. The hall of the village school was also damaged.” explained another local resident.
Local people said that the army fired with helicopters towards Zin Kale village of Minkin township and Thaungpyin village of Ye U Township, On the same day. The condition of the damage was not yet known.
